Sacramento CA Flavor Ban Hearing

It’s been a while since this started and if you need to catch up a bit, feel free to examine the following posts on the subject. After the retailer meeting last month it’s time for the proposed ordinance to be handled by the Law and Legislation Committee on October 23rd at 3pm.

Considering there were about a hundred people in the meeting last month and local retailers have been rallying copious numbers of their customers to come speak up, it is likely going to be a very long, but very interesting hearing. For those who want to catch up on the latest intel and information, need additional insights into talking points, etc. please get to the front of the building between 2pm and 2:15pm. Also because it’s a good idea to get speaker cards, etc. sorted and arranged before the actual hearing starts.

If you are preparing to provide testimony and speak, please prepare for a 1 minute maximum. We fully expect them, due to the large number of people, to limit public time. Pro-tip: write two versions, one for one minute and one for two minutes.
